Zyxel Builds New Cloud-Managed, Faster And Secure Network To UK School

The network has become an important tool for the 1,500 pupils and the teachers of Sprowston Community Academy looking to engage them with a first-class education. Also, the school wanted to ensure a safe learning environment, and installed the access control system to all entrances and exits. However, with increased demand for connectivity, the school’s network proved particularly challenging with its low speed, which subsequently resulted in disruption to classes. Additionally, the school found it hard to centrally manage the existing network which comprised various brands of networking equipment. Furthermore, the school wanted to upgrade its network to replace the problematic cabling infrastructure built on a mix of network backbone links. Finally, the school successfully completed the installation with Zyxel’s Nebula solution, high-speed network switches and security gateway with ease. Check here to know more details.

The network has become an important tool for both our teachers and students because technology helps us provide engaging and powerful learning experiences and content. The new network offers greater efficiency and security, especially implementing a new cloud-based web filtering software that controls the types of content that can be accessed by pupils. The new network system also creates better learning opportunities and standards, while reducing costs.
